In these hard times , got me thinking about my love for the hoops and how it started , so here goes , Maryhill boy born and bred , my old man was a armchair Celtic man , never went to games but was passionate about Celtic , at that time early 80s both him and my mum would not let me go to Celtic park , so I became a ball boy for the jags , loved it, especially when Celtic came to fir hill, that lasted about 2 years and at the age of 15 chucked it to go and watch the hoops , first game getting on a 61 bus from summerston at the terminus , scarf in hand , sneaked out , who gets off the bus I am going on , my wee maw , ffs , I’m no getting to go , threw a tantrum and she relented , No 7 in the jungle that’s where the maryhill bhoys congregated , I was hooked , fucking magic , stood there every week mostly on cans to avoid folk pishing down your leg until it got demolished , ferraris and the la costera where my underage drinking holes in the town before the game , then the grange just outside CP where a guy would stand on the table , black beret , sunglasses and a flute , collecting money for the cause , never forget it , new Celtic park , season ticket block 404 north stand , the bunnet the saviour , the rebels have won as I stood outside going mental , happy days
